Health is the result of being able to maintain certain constant conditions within the body.  Your body must do whatever it can to maintain these conditions.  In other words, it will hoard things it is deficient in, and it will discard things it has too much of.  Since the chemical tests for calcium, salt and many others have been well researched for over 150 years, it is easy to recognize some dietary excesses and deficiencies before disease processes get started.  The body filters the blood through the kidneys and uses the formation of urine to cleanse the blood.  It discards excess acid and alkali to maintain a normal pH balance within the blood.  This filtration also maintains a proper balance between waste and salt in the blood, discarding the excesses in the urine.  Waste products and toxic substances, such as drugs and alcohol, are removed.  Before disease processes develop, annoying symptoms such as allergies, headaches, and fatigue can result when any of these functions are not adequate to the task.

Urinalysis History - Testing urine is an ancient, time-honored practice.  Records from ancient China and India mention observations of urine one and two thousand years BCE.  Five hundred year BCE, Hippocrates recorded his observations of the changes in urine in health and sickness.  Urinalysis is no less important now than it was back then.  Up until the 1970s, the use of chemical tests for examining urine was a standard part of medical testing.  Unfortunately, modern technology has now taken precedence over these well established tests.  Today, only procedures that can be done quickly with a dipstick are routinely performed to screen for serious diseases like diabetes, liver and kidney disease, and urinary infection.  These chemical tests have not been discarded because they are invalid, but because science is interested in measuring disease processes and many of these older chemical tests take longer to perform and merely measure the maintenance of normal body processes.  This makes them perfect for monitoring health as all health care practitioners recognize that the urine reflects the food and drink intake of the patient. 

Testing Procedure - The 24-Hour Urinalysis is done at certified laboratories around the country.  Our testing procedure begins with the same standard screening tests performed in hospitals to recognize disease.  Diabetes, liver and kidney disease as well as urinary infection or inflammation are first ruled out before proceeding.  The physical tests for color, cloudiness, volume, and specific gravity are recorded.  These are used to recognize any abnormalities including the kidney's ability to clean the blood.  Next, the more complicated chemistry tests are performed.  Among these tests is an indican evaluation to measure the presence of food in the colon that is putrefying, creating irritants and toxins which cause pain and inflammation.  The urinary sediment is evaluated for excessive crystal formations which can indicate problems with digestion or excessive consumption of protein, sugar, or fat.  The amount of acidity or alkalinity being excreted is checked and compared to the amount of calcium and salt (chloride) being excreted.  These tests often can give us a clue as to whether digestive complaints are caused by excessive acidity or alkalinity in the diet.  Other important tests, such as vitamin C excretion, are also measured.
